- 5 to 20
No month in Miami sits inside the 5 to 20 degree band this page uses for Running. The mean runs to 29 degrees in August, which is the problem rather than the rain.
The band sits low because running makes its own heat: a mean above 24 degrees turns an easy hour into a hard one even in dry air, and the same month is comfortable for walking.
The warmest month is August, at a mean of 29 degrees. The coldest is January, at 21.2.
Rain is heaviest in June, about 191 mm across the month, and lightest in January at 44 mm.
The figures are monthly means for Miami over 2001-2020, read from one satellite reanalysis cell. The 5 to 20 degree band is a stated convention rather than a measurement, and it is the only judgement on this page.
This page says when, not where. It names no route, trail, pool, gym or club, because the dataset that holds those is not built here. There is no water temperature, no gradient and no surface in this source either, so a comfortable month is about the air and nothing else.

Questions
When is the best time for running in Miami?
No month falls inside the band used here. The table gives every month so the least bad one can be picked deliberately.
Does this list routes?
No. It says which months are comfortable and nothing about where to go. Routes, trails and pools need a dataset this programme has not been able to build, and inventing a route list would be worse than leaving it out.
Where do the temperatures come from?
From monthly climate normals published by NASA POWER, averaged over twenty years and read at one grid cell for the city. They are means for the whole day and month, not daytime highs.
